In his second Elf Realm adventure, Matt joins with a troll and an elf to save the Cord. The action is slow to start, as the richly drawn cast of characters get their bearings. Kirk's high-fantasy world-building is full of inventive twists on mythology. The story also tackles issues of superstition and religious self-righteousness.
